Love the depth of these characters & their growth

loved this novel and the total series to be able to see the growth of each character

Layers of historical detail and drama.

Wonderful narration!

This addition to the Poldark books brought a maturity to the older characters and added to the depth of history that affected life in Cornwall. I thought the debate within Ross regarding his reflections on responsibility and revolution were thoughtful and provoking. The entire story became a foil of opposite ideas and colliding hypocrisy mixed up in the complexities of human nature and life within the larger events of its existence.

Poor Morwenna! Poor Drake!

With the perfectly cast actors in the PBS series, I thought of them whilst reading of Drake and Morwenna’s trials and tribulations. And poor Aunt Agatha! At least Dwight provided some good news to offset the bad news villainy of George Warleggan and Osborne Wentworth.

Another good read.

Written very good. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Looking forward to the next book.

Loved it

Winston Graham was such a talented author, and I was so impressed with this book! The Poldark series has never failed to deliver.
